Windows boxes usually have the hardware clock set to local time, not utc, so probably most Puppy users would be using local time, not utc

i have a program that sets the clock automatically from the internet, but it requires that you set the time zone correctly (there is 1 correct setting and 23 wrong time zone settings ... Barry's time zone wizard works fine, it's just that the sign is backwards ... so if your time zone is EST, the offset is +5 not -5, and so on)

I have tried both clicking on the blank desktop, selecting Programs, Control Panel, Set Time Zone (which acts as though it is doing something but does not), and the same sequence ending with Set Time/Date (which does not provide any option to actually set anything), and your app which provides for setting zone, date, and time but I can never get it right. The actual change in increments is minutes even when I change from +5 to -4 hours.

edoc, if you are in west central florida, that would be the EST/EDT time zone

my time zone is also EST

what i do is run the Puppy Time Zone Wizard and click the +5 button

yes, the wizard says EST is -5, but that's wrong ... the correct offset is +5

then i edit /etc/TZ and change UTC+5 to EST5EDT ... which works the same, it's the 5 that sets the time zone

the time zone should be correct when you reboot
if the time is wrong, it's because the hardware clock is set to the wrong time

you can set the clock from the internet ... i have a dotpup package that does this

get the time from the internet:
(this does not set anything, it just shows what time it is according to your time zone settings ... if your time zone settings are right, it will show the correct time)
rdate -p time.nist.gov
